Full-color, multi-material, multi-head 3D printing with flexibility and speed

Full-color, multi-material, multi-head 3D printing with flexibility and speed

At 865FabLab, our 3D printing farm is engineered to deliver high-throughput, multi-material parts using a combination of tool‑changing and single‑extruder systems. We can support complex parts, color differentiation, and multiple material combinations in a single print job — or scale with parallel production runs across machines.

Our Setup & Capabilities

  • Multi-head tool changer unit supports up to five independent extruders for multi-color or multi-material prints in a single build

  • CoreXY mechanics for faster, smooth motion

  • Large build volumes for bigger parts or assemblies

  • Multiple single-extruder units in parallel for high output of simpler parts

  • Support for standard filament materials like PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU, and specialty blends

  • Automatic calibration & leveling ensures reliable first layers and consistent output

  • Networked print farm workflow for remote monitoring, job scheduling, and batch management

Workflow & Process

  1. Submit your 3D model file (STL, STEP, OBJ, etc.)

  2. Discuss material requirements and multi-material strategies

  3. We optimize the job across print heads or machines

  4. Print & monitor through our farm management system

  5. Post-processing — support removal, sanding, assembly, etc.

  6. Ship or pick up, packaged and ready to integrate

 

Typical Print Specifications

Parameter Typical Performance Build volume (multi-head) ~360 × 360 × 360 mm (or equivalent “large-cube” envelope) (Prusa3D by Josef Prusa) Extruder count Up to 5 heads for simultaneous material/color printing (Prusa3D by Josef Prusa) Print resolution ~0.1 mm (100 µm) to ~0.3 mm (300 µm) depending on model and use case Filament diameter 1.75 mm Material types PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU, engineering blends, composites.

Ideal Use Cases

  • Functional prototype parts needing multi-material structure

  • Enclosures, housings, brackets, and interfaces

  • Custom jigs, tooling, fixturing, and aligners

  • Model parts with embedded multi-color detail or gradients

  • Low-run parts or custom one-offs where cost, speed, and complexity matter

  • Batches of simpler parts produced in parallel on single-extruder units

Materials & Material Strategies

We can print with a variety of filament materials, and combine them intelligently in a single print:

  • Rigid plastics: PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA

  • Flexible / elastomeric: TPU, TPE

  • Composite & specialty blends: carbon-fiber, glass-filled, etc.

  • Support materials / internal scaffolding: dissolvable or breakaway supports

  • Multi-color and multi-material builds using tool-changer head(s)

With our multi-head system, we can assign different materials or colors to individual sections of your model, or craft infill/support strategies that use alternate materials for ease of removal.
